Bipolar 2 & ADD

I have been treated for bipolar 2 for several years. Then just before Xmas I was diagnosed with ADD
I'm seeing a good psychiatrist with expertise in both, but I'm still nervous of adding another medication to my long (way too long) list, and/or of an ADD mediation that might make the highs and lows worse.
Has anybody had to combine these two treatments? I'm not holding you to medical advice, but some general warning signs or reassurance would help.
Thank you.

Are you on a solid mood stabiliser and prepared to pay attention to whether you're getting enough sleep? I take lithium for my bipolar disorder and as long as I'm on that, I've seen no sign that my stimulants destabilise me, though everyone's different.
